What to Know about Aging and Drift in Type K Thermocouples

Robert Torgerson | Know-how, Temperature
Refineries rely on accurate temperature measurement to analyze catalyst performance

With repeated exposure to high temperatures, a Type K thermocouple becomes less accurate. Aging is a phenomenon that results in higher-than-accurate temperature readings, while drift results in lower-than-accurate readings. While all Type K thermocouples experience …

Pressure Transmitter Accuracy and Pressure Transmitter Non-Linearity: Not the Same Thing

Robert Lukat | Know-how
Dial thermometers process temperature

Sometimes, references to pressure transmitter accuracy are actually about the non-linearity of the pressure transmitter’s response. Although accuracy and non-linearity are related, the two terms are not the same and shouldn’t be used interchangeably. The …
